Young people who commit serious crimes, such as a robbery or assault, should be punished in the same way as adults. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#people #crimes #robbery #assault #adults
In
this
 period of the highest
crime
rate
, many
people
 advocate that the agencies should punish young
people
 who commit intense
crimes
 the same as adults. They believe that young offenders are one of the main reasons for the increased
crime
rate
 as they tend to repeat the
crime
. In my opinion, I strongly agree with
this
 notion and my opinion will be discussed in
further
 paragraphs
along with
 a suitable conclusion. Supporting my agreement with the given statement, I firmly believe that young
people
 with criminal nature are taking advantage of our judicial system and are getting involved in a series of
crimes
. To cite an example the young boy who was involved in a sensational rape case got released from jail because of the age factor immediately involved in a robbery case.
Moreover
, gangsters are planning their
crimes
 with youth because of
this
 loophole in the system. Explaining some of the other supporting points in favour of
this
 statement, it is true that nowadays, young
people
 attract to easy money and luxury life,
hence
 they tend to participate in illegal activities.
As a result
crime
rate
 is rising at an alarming
rate
 across the globe.
For example
, a survey conducted in Hong Kong shows that
this
 year minors were involved in more cases than
last
 year. In conclusion, Law should not show discrimination based on age. In fact, they should get severe punishments as adults to avoid repeated
crimes
 in future. I believe that the aforementioned points are strongly supporting my viewpoint.
